Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), also known as Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), are the underlying mechanism for claiming consumption of renewable energy and can help you reduce your Scope 2 emissions with best-in-class practices. These internationally-recognized certificates support compliance by:

  • Adhering to global accounting and reporting frameworks
  • Bolstering renewable energy development
  • Relieving pressure from your stakeholders

RECs are internationally recognized, tradable instruments which prove that electricity has been generated from solar, wind or another renewable source and allow any end-user to claim the consumption of the associated renewable energy. Each REC represents the environmental benefits of 1MWh of renewable energy generation.

RECs for Business

Meeting stakeholder expectations around sustainability can be a challenge, especially if you’re trying to balance an effective energy management plan. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), – also known as Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) – allow you to start reporting your commitment to decarbonization quickly and might work well as one of the elements in your overall energy management and sustainability planning, especially if you are focused on Scope 2 emissions or want immediate impact. 

After hearing your goals and priorities, our renewable energy experts will assess the impact RECs and/or other renewable energy solutions could have on your organization.

If RECs don’t meet your organization’s needs, fear not. Our renewable energy experts can help identify the right decarbonization solutions for you and are glad to share information and insights they’ve gained over many years and engagements.
